you are looking back now though.

rs3 is done,has been for quiet some time now. Past 3 years they have done nothing,they are putting no effort into it anymore. Maybe because they don't make a good return on it and old school is much more attractive for them.
Spend to long on this game to leave though,so I will come back now and then to look back.
If ever go play again I would play old school,my friend plays that now but I couldn't get myself to join (yet)


i think mining a smithing rework is rather alot of effort
200m all RS3 on 7/3/19

the problems with RS3 (the only version of the game i have any interest in) are:

too much effort is put into graphics, audio, voice overs and other cosmetic nonsense that adds nothing to the actual game play, delaying and bloating updates to the point it probably takes 2-3 times longer than it would if they had the same graphics as in 2010, which not only slows down the amount of updates we get, but payment to the graphic designers etc takes away money they could be paying to hire staff that are more focused on coding, quality control, innovation, balancing, etc

power creep vs level cap - how to make new rewards when lvl 92 is so close to the 99 cap already - next tier of weapons lvl 93, taking 1000 hours to obtain? the slope is too steep because of their pointless refusal to increase the level cap. pop the real levels up to 120, and you can start adding new content thats accessible to the majority of players and takes reasonable amount of time to obtain for noticeable benefits, giving jagex the ability to pump out more updates with meaningful rewards

RS3 has too much nonsense going on. You can relax on OSRS. What made the old game was its simplicity. RS3 got too complicated with the EOC nonsense. Funny thing is a few months ago, I went to Legacy to train Str. Anybody notice str hits harder in Legacy than it does with all the EOC abilities. Seems EOC was designed for Mage. Now Mage it is awesome. But str it stinks. So Runescape went from Meleescape to Magescape. Range is still the also ran.

Having said that I'm looking forward to ed3.

ToA was kind of a letdown for me personally, I did enjoy DkL though, I wonder what they have planned for ED3 but I've also pretty much lost all interest in RS3 at this point - the only thing I ever do when I do log in is Ports, vis wax, tbh I can't think of anything else. I guess I try to knock out some MQC reqs too but usually get distracted.

I'm honestly contemplating on renewing my membership at all to be honest. I've already 100% decided to not renew my alts membership which runs out in February, but I'm still not sure about my main.


I haven't really followed this game and its updates for over a year now, and only chimed in here and there when someone on Discord is talking about an update...

One of the only updates I was remotely interested in this year was scrapped due to having a "larger scope than anticipated" being the Minigame Hub idea. I enjoy minigames and D&Ds a lot, and while they're not as active anymore, there's still a small close community who plays the game for fun, and not the efficiency crap of getting the most XP or GP per hour mentality.

I'm getting sick of there only being PvM or skilling updates. There should be more variety, but there isn't, which is why the membership money from my alt is already gone.
